As Christ arose, so the people of God will also rise unto life eternal in glory. This great hope of the Christian faith is an essential and foundational doctrine of the gospel. Paul brings this into sharp focus in this text as he refutes the false teaching in Corinth that denied the resurrection of the dead. He further points out the implication of the resurrection, namely, the coming kingdom of God which is the Son’s intra-trinitarian love gift to the Father. May the Lord encourage our hearts to live life propelled by this resurrection reality and hope and with eternity and the kingdom of God in our hearts.
